I've read what's in the archives of this list (e.g.,
https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/psyche-list/2002-November/005605.html), but it
still doesn't work.
Emacs & Mozilla work, fairly painlessly, as does gnome-terminal and most
of the RedHat environment, when I log in with my language set to
Japanese. But, not those two; I suspect the problem remains Japanese
TrueType fonts, though I'm not even sure how to figure out what fonts it
thinks it's using.
I'm up to the stage, with Evolution, that it displays (some) menus in
Japanese, and will even display the subject correctly in Japanese in the
preview pane. But, it never displays the body of the message correctly
-- not in the preview pane, nor in a separate window, just squares or
underlines on the screen.
I can type in Japanese, and see the hiragana as I type, but after the
henkan (change to kanji), it becomes just squares on the screen.
I have tried selecting different fonts and sizes in Evolution's
Tools->Settings->Font Preferences, and get different behavior, but never
the correct thing. The set of fonts I'm offered there is pretty
limited.
OpenOffice is similar.
I added
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/ja/TrueType</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/ja/misc</dir>
<dir>~/.fonts</dir>
in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf (does this recurse? That would make the latter
two entries unnecessary), and that's how I got to at least partially
working, but can't get any farther. (xlsfonts | wc didn't change --
it's still 1899.)
OpenOffice is worse; even the menus result in just squares showing up.
But again, it appears that I can *type* in Japanese, I just can't see
what I'm typing!
Any help greatly appreciated.
